A proud moment for Social Care People! 🎉

We’re delighted to have been Highly Commended in the Recruitment category at the Social Care Premier Supplier Awards 2026.

The judges recognised our commitment to helping care providers find the right people through practical, affordable recruitment support.

That means a great deal to us. Social Care People was created to help care organisations reach candidates who share their values and want to build a career in care.

It was lovely to celebrate alongside so many people and organisations from across social care in London.

Thank you to our team, the employers and candidates who trust us, and the judges for this recognition. Congratulations to all the winners, fellow highly commended organisations and finalists! 👏

People working in social care spend every day supporting others but speaking about their own mental health may not always feel easy.

For World Mental Health Day, the Mental Health Foundation has shared five questions to consider before opening up to someone.

Take a moment to read them, save them for later or share them with a colleague who may find them helpful.

Because those who care for others deserve space to be heard too.

Behind these figures are people who need care, families who need support, and hospice teams working hard to be there for them.

This Hospice Care Week, Social Care People is supporting Hospice UK’s message: “Don’t leave hospice care to chance.”

We’re using our platform to raise awareness and you can help by sharing this campaign or supporting your local hospice. 💙

Sustainable funding is essential to help hospice teams continue providing that support.

Asking for a real example can help you understand how a candidate puts their values into practice.

In our '𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲𝘀 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗿𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲' webinar, we explored questions such as:

𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁: Can you describe a time you helped someone feel valued?
𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁: How have you built trust in a relationship?
𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: Tell us about a new skill you learned and how you approached it.

Alongside the skills and qualifications needed for the role, these conversations can help you understand how someone might support the people in your care.

At Social Care People, we help care employers connect with candidates and share recruitment advice to support their hiring.

Everyone deserves care and support at the end of their life, wherever they live.

This Hospice Care Week, we’re backing the message: “Don’t leave hospice care to chance.”

Hospice teams support people and those close to them through some of life’s most difficult moments. The skill, compassion and dedication of staff and volunteers make that support possible.

At Social Care People, we want to help shine a light on their work and Hospice UK’s call for fair access to hospice care and sustainable funding.

From visiting a local hospice shop to sharing the campaign, there are ways we can all show our support.

Find out more about Hospice Care Week, running from 5–11 October:

From 5 - 11 October 2026 help us celebrate hospice care across the UK along with our 200+ hospice members.

A pumpkin-decorating afternoon or a trip to see the autumn colours might look like a simple activity.

Behind it is a care team thinking about the details: what each person enjoys, how they’ll get there, what support they might need and whether the plans still feel right on the day.

That preparation can make a real difference to someone’s experience.

As autumn activities get underway, we’re recognising the care colleagues who help make these moments possible. 🍂
